A Handsome Drug Store: the Paull Building, 1911 By JIM From early spring through the closing days of 1911, the west corner of the Square was a happening place, with the April 5th edition of the News reporting a number of changes coming to that part of the Square. One very nearly needs a sharp pencil and a scorecard to keep up with all that's packed into these few lines: *The Paull Drug Company will remove their stock of goods into the building, now occupied by Mr. W.H. Wilson, the 15th of this month. Mr. Wilson will remove his groceries into the ell of the same building. The building in which the Paull Drug Co., is now doing business, will be razed, and a brick structure, running back to the alley, will be erected which will be occupied, when completed, by the drug company. Messrs. Frank Sinclair and G.W. Dillon will build on their lot at the same time. It is our understanding that Mr. W.H. Wilson has the [right of first] refusal of this building when ready for occupancy. The two will be handsome buildings and will add greatly to appearance of the square.* Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2013-12-03 10:15:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
